“As I grew, the mountains seemed to shrink. Skiing became civilized. Something was missing—something beautiful and exotic and free with a measure of uncertainty. I felt a need to put excitement back into my skiing. That’s when adventure skiing was created; imaginative explorations with small, fast, self-sufficient teams on skis with free-heeled bindings” – Ned Gillette
A series of aesthetic and enjoyable ridgelines connect Wyoming’s Teton Pass to Pine Creek Pass in Idaho. Despite the cruddy spring weather, Derek Collins and I completed the 23-mile plus traverse of the Snake River Range’s northern crest in nine hours.
I thought this was a neat trip you documented. Inspirational enough for me to want to try it next season!
